They are large rifle primers.  They can be used in just about any caliber that uses large primers like 308, 30-06 or 444.  There are many that will use these.  Hope that helps.

In my house, 210s (LRPs) that had gotten wet would be used to help fill up the trash bag on trash day.

If you have any doubt about the integrety of the powder, use it to fertilize your garden. Gunpowder makes excellent fertilizer.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.
